PS After I post, I'm gonna move this to the Browsers forum since we may be talking about the start of something big! <img src=/S/rofl.gif border=0 alt=rofl width=15 height=15> (kinda like "street view")

Re: Google launches internet browser

I've just been using it for 20 minutes or so, so I haven't done any stress testing.

I like the minimalist design, leaving lots of room for the web page.
Pages seem to load pretty fast.
The way pages are rendered looks more like Firefox than Internet Explorer (Woody's Lounge is rendered differently in Firefox than in IE).

It looks like it might become a worthy competitor to Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Re: Google launches internet browser

There are nice features for developers:
"Inspect Element" - a treeview-like display of the source code, you can expand and collapse items, and the relevant part of the page is highlighted as you hold the mouse pointer over nodes of the tree.
"View Source" - opens in a separate tab, displays the HTML source color-coded.

Re: Google launches internet browser

For a first beta, so far I am quite impressed with it.

It uses the KHTML layout engine (also used by Safari and Konqueror)
A simple little feature that I like is about:memory which allows you to check memory usage in each tab, can come in handy when testing.

Re: Google launches internet browser

Boy, this is gonna be fun! I'm on the bandwagon too and it really is FAST. I would ordinarily say how extraordinary that is, but from my experiences with Google, that may not be fitting. It is REALLY fast at rendering pages. I immediately miss the normal "command line" with stuff like View and so on. Well, at least I was able to quickly find an Options screen for some stuff.
